Check your linkin park cds for disc rot.
Ugh yeah. I’ve been slowly backing up my wife’s, my parents’, and my own music CDs, and while it thankfully hasn’t gotten to many of them, it’s ate enough to be annoying.
Especially because my wife’s collection is mostly very specific performances of classical music and operas, which can make finding rips difficult when it’s not a particularly popular recording.
And the CD-Rs are almost all toast. I’m lucky the old family PC HDDs still have most of the old family photos, so I’ve been able to back them up. Can’t believe we used to think that backing up the pictures to disc would last longer.
